I do not blame anyone for reaching out to get any extra info (though I'd not be to obnoxious). It just seemed that the advisors either have to be tight-lipped about information or maybe they don't all hear back at the same time? too scared to ask incase it ends up being a no ? ngdt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told during the interview that once they narrow down the pile they send them to the different tracks (SHIPS, RILES, LDT, CTE, etc.) for those advisors to look through the students who selected them. I believe if you mention a POI they might reach out for an interview. After they pick their top choices they come back and have to narrow the group down again and then it goes to the dean's office so they can make final selections and make a cohort. I was told creating a cohesive cohort is also an essential part of the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gvjcb1000000 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 @flowerpower07 can I ask what you applied for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk25 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I hope that they do reply quickly. If not, it's a poor sign. People tend not to like to bear bad news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk25 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Everywhere I have applied to are not keeping their usual deadlines. It's unbearable for me; I haven't heard back from a single school. Really starting to panic here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyo Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 @jk25 you got interviewed at SGSE, right? It has been a bad day for me. I got an offer of 1/3rd scholarship from 1 university. If I take that up, I will basically have to work full time and then some to fund my PhD. Ha ha ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I was only in touch with a few via e-mail. I'm not sure if an unfunded PhD makes sense though. It just seems so unmanageable to work full time and really be dedicated to your research.

CTE, focus in Science Education. @jk25 this is the first I've heard from anyone. I have two schools I've heard nothing from and an interview for one school next weekend. I wouldn't be surprised if everyone is much behind on their timeline. iheartscience and gvjcb1000000 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
